The turntable offers a host of high-performance features that make it ideal for pro, mobile and club DJ use. Built to deliver exceptional music reproduction even under the most demanding conditions of professional use, the turntable utilizes a powerful direct-drive 16-pole, three-phase motor for unwavering speed stability along with easy back-cueing, forward and reverse play and quiet operation at 33-1/3, 45 or 78 RPM.

Rounding out the DJ line are two new moving magnet DJ phono cartridges. Born out of Audio-Technica’s legendary Hi-Fi heritage and developed with DJ’s, the new cartridges combine specialist DJ requirements with superior high-fidelity sound. Both the AT-XP5 and AT-XP7 have been designed to be robust and reliable, with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus and a tracking force range of 2.0 to 4.0 grams, offering the ultimate tracking ability for even the widest grooves and deepest bass. This tracking ability is combined with a powerful output level, with the AT-XP5 giving 5.5 mV and the AT-XP7 giving 6.0 mV. Both cartridges feature a highly rigid, lightweight polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)/glass fiber body for minimized vibrations, and the cartridges are also designed to give maximum visibility of the stylus tip for accurate cueing.
